Starting Point

1. The motions of this move are very similar to a backside lipslide, so I'd recommend learning backside lipslides first.

2. Don't bother learning stationary backside noseblunts first, because they won't help you in learning the backside noseblunt slide.

3. Approach the ramp with as much speed as possible at the same angle as a backside lipslide.

4. Point your board's nose at a slight angle so that when you land on the deck, you're almost in a nosegrind.

5. Try and nollie out as soon as you begin to slide-the trick is to reenter the transition while you're in motion.

6. If you should stop on the deck in the noseblunt position, there're several options for reentry: 1. Grab the tail and hop in with a foot kick. 2. Hop into a disaster, go into a Smith to board back to a Smith stall and revert in-stall for as long as possible. Remove your cell phone from your pocket and call Todd Falcon for options three to infinity.-Sal Barbier
